Because health is a resource for everyday life and not just the objective of living, the mission of The Women's Fund is to provide Houston-area women and girls with the tools they need to be advocates for their health. The health education classes are unique because they include preventative, curriculum-based classes that teach resiliency skills, and relate those skills to current health risks.

Resiliency is a key strategy to empowering individuals and communities to either increase or decrease long-term health outcomes; therefore, resiliency skills increase self-efficacy, decision-making, goal-setting and communication, and resourcefulness to ensure positive health outcomes for individuals and communities.
